    Mortgage Rate Rises

    "Tax is theft.", honestly. What a ridiculous thing to say.

    Warhammer 40k : Rogue Trader - The people behind Pathfinder do WH40K

    Hard disagree! In my own opinion, Amelia's sultry 'come to bed' voice did not suit the game at all and I was miffed there wasn't a volume slider / mute option. A narrator is not required in a video game the same way it is in tabletop.

    What watch do you wear?

    I contacted a few of the names mentioned in this thread but received limited or negative responses. I hunted around a bit locally, most places turned me down saying it would be too difficult to get parts etc. In the end I found an old chap in Wandsworth who had been servicing and restoring Swiss...

    What watch do you wear?

    Following a service: Very shiny - maybe a bit OVER shiny. The blemishes on the face are unfortunately all the more visible. Still, the chap did an amazing job and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg either.

    "Hundreds" of Met Police armed response officers hand in the weapons after colleague charged with murder - Chris Kaba Shooting aftermath.

    Wasn't the same vehicle involved in a firearms related incident a day earlier? The car was pulled over, wedged in, and the driver started ramming officers? Nobody can say without seeing the bodycam whether the actions of the officer were proportionate or criminal.

    What watch do you wear?

    Thanks mate, I have sent him a note! I imagine any restoration and ultimate sale will span many months. Hopefully will be an interesting process.

    What watch do you wear?

    I can't be sure, but I would think it's just human hair. The case is particularly loose and can be rotated to adjust the timezone/city very freely, it wouldn't be the least bit water resistant. It's likely that with the loose case there's plenty of debris including hair inside. Definitely says...

    What watch do you wear?

    Thanks guys. I agree it would be beautiful with a little bit of love. As you've recommended, I contacted WatchRepairUK - unfortunately they won't work on vintage watches. Also contacted STS - they say it's not a brand they deal with after recent Breitling accreditation changes, and given the...

    What watch do you wear?

    Found an old 1960s Breitling among my fathers possessions. He wants to get rid of it but not sure where to begin. It's clearly seen better days, although underneath the dirt the condition looks very good. It's not functioning and would need a service alongside a clean. Any tips on selling?

    Titan Quest 2

    TQ was my first true ARPG as I never played D2. Nothing has scratched the itch since including GD, POE, D3. Lets go!

    Baldur's Gate 3

    I can't place how I feel about this game. Big big fan of the originals, and I still play them to this day. Also a huge fan of DOS, and have cooped DOS2 multiple times with friends. Everyone is saying this is GOTY and that it 'sets the benchmark for RPGs to come' - which might be true - but I...

    Nice pongs and gorgeous whiffs. The Aftershave thread!

    Both CK One and Polo Sport are Citrus based, if you want another one like that then Terre D'Hermes as above is a good shout. I have the EDP but apparently the EDT is the quintessential TD'H. Go smell it before you buy.

    Best savings account?

    3% on Monzo which seems fairly competitive

    Cyclones = Hurricanes

    Think the name depends on whether it's formed in Northern or Southern Hemisphere. Might even spin in clockwise/counter clockwise as a result of said location.

    SFF gaming build in a 10ltr case!

    Hi guys, I'm moving from a full tower to an ITX so I can chuck it in my backpack and be a little more mobile. I'd love some advice on components as I am out of the loop. It's just for gaming, no rendering or professional work or anything like that. No budget really, but I'm not looking for...

    Should she stop paying into the fund?

    Really the point of paying into a S&S account on a regular basis is that you hedge yourself against peaks and troughs over time. Markets go up and down and right now they're down. This year has been painful, but a year is just the amount of time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun, it's not...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Shitstain country with a GDP roughly comparable to the Netherlands when you remove the revenues from their exploitation of Oil and Gas, despite a landmass 40x larger and a population 9x larger. Like that fat bully at the back of the class who brought absolutely nothing to lessons except...
